I am studying for a Master of Accounting degree (nearly finished) and have been using OF for about two years.
My setup is simple - I create a sequential project for each subject in the course, and then create tasks for each week. These tasks align with the weekly schedule provided by the lecturer and contain brief details of readings required and I assign a due date at the end of each week (Sunday night).
I also create tasks for the assignments that are due (2 or 3 for each subject) and these are flagged so that they stand out onscreen. And I create a task for the final exam, flagged also and the due date is assigned as soon it’s known.
It’s basic, but it works because it’s a linear process. I enjoy checking off each week. Although I hate it when I am behind schedule!
